University of Georgia School of Law alumna Victoria Agbakwuru (LL.M. ’24) published an article earlier this month in the Penn State Journal of Law and International Affairs. The article, titled “A Comparative Analysis of ESG Reporting in Nigeria and Other African Countries,” reflects research conducted by Agbakwuru under the supervision of Georgia Law Professor Christopher M. Bruner during her time as a student.

From the article’s introduction:

This paper provides an in-depth insight into Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting in Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy. The Adoption Readiness Working Group’s proposed implementation of the Sustainability Reporting in Nigeria would mandate ESG reporting. This paper also contrasts Nigeria’s reporting standards and regulations with those of other African nations, including Ghana, South Africa, and Egypt. It aims to provide a better understanding of ESG reporting in Africa, which would help investors and partners intending to invest in Africa.
